It may look like it's finished completely, but there is still an outer border along with vases, bamboo, mums and phoenix birds on all four sides! I have had to tweak a bit again due to the black linen, subbing DMC 500 for the called for silk in the Winter Garden pine tree. The green silk was just too dark. Here's the close up of the final seasonal garden....I think it's my favorite!
And here is the entire piece so far....
And also this week I was able to deliver the LONG overdue gift of the New Zealand Map Banner to my dear sister-in-law Ann and her family. Ann was suitably amazed and surprised!
Congrats on all of your work. It's beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the New Zealand banner and the Chinese Mandala Garden is looking awesome!
